Today is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, also known as Duanyang Festival, Noon Festival, May Festival, Ai Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Chongwu Festival, Noon Festival and Summer Festival. Although the names are different, the customs of people everywhere are the same. Dragon Boat Festival is an old custom in China for more than two thousand years. On this day, every household hangs bells, hangs mugwort leaves and calamus, races dragon boats, eats zongzi, drinks realgar wine, swims in various diseases and wears sachets! In the morning, everyone began to make zongzi, ready to feed the "worm" in my stomach. Speaking of Dragon Boat Festival, you must not know the knowledge of Dragon Boat Festival. Let me tell you about the Dragon Boat Festival as a doctor!
Speaking of Dragon Boat Festival, we have to ask a poet to help us start with him, but who is this person? He is a famous patriotic poet-Qu Yuan! Qu Yuan, who went abroad during the Warring States Period, was very knowledgeable. He is an official around the king of Chu, and his image is that his country has become rich and strong. The bad king Chu listened to the minister's words and exiled Qu Yuan. When Qu Yuan was in exile, he heard that the capital of Chu was occupied by the enemy, and the people suffered greatly. On the fifth day of May, he came to the Miluo River and jumped into it with a stone in his arms. People who go abroad are very sad to hear that Qu Yuan jumped into the river. They rowed the boat with tears in their eyes to salvage Qu Yuan and threw zongzi into the river to feed the fish, hoping that the fish would not hurt Qu Yuan's body. This is the origin of making zongzi in Duanyang in May.
Let's talk about the story of Dragon Boat Festival. At that time, Chu people didn't want to let the sage Qu Yuan die, so many people rowed boats to catch up and save him. They rushed to catch up, but when they reached Dongting Lake, there was no trace. This is the origin of the dragon boat race, and then the dragon boat race was held on May 5 every year to commemorate it. Rowing a dragon boat to disperse the fish in the river so as not to eat Qu Yuan's body. The habit of competition prevailed in wuyue and Chu. Dragon Boat Race started in Taiwan Province Province in the 29th year of Qing Qianlong. At that time, Jiang, the chief executive of Taiwan Province Province, held a friendly match in Hexi Half Moon Pool in Tainan City. Now, Taiwan Province Province holds a dragon boat race on May 5th every year.
This is my knowledge about the Dragon Boat Festival. How about it? Now everyone has a certain understanding of the Dragon Boat Festival. Now, shouldn't everyone just feel sorry for the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan? If it weren't for the insistence of the King of Chu, I think Qu Yuan would bring you many immortal poems, but it was Qu Yuan's jumping that washed people's hearts. He left behind not only tragic poems, but also the spirit of self-improvement! I believe that the great patriotic poet will remain in people's hearts forever!

Dragon Boat Festival is coming! I've been looking forward to May 5th. It's really late! I waited for it anxiously. You asked me why I was looking forward to the Dragon Boat Festival so much. My answer is simple, because there is food and play during the Dragon Boat Festival! Another reason is that we will have a holiday as soon as the Dragon Boat Festival arrives! On May 5th, the Dragon Boat Festival, every family eats jiaozi. And my favorite is to eat zongzi! I secretly tell you that I can eat several zongzi at a time! You must not say that I can only eat but not cook! I can also make zongzi: before making zongzi, I will soak the glutinous rice necessary for making zongzi in water for a while. Wash the collected Indocalamus leaves with clear water, then roll the Indocalamus leaves into a cone and add glutinous rice. Just roll it up and tie the zongzi with thread! If you add a few candied dates to zongzi, it will taste better!
During the Dragon Boat Festival, people will also wear sachets and hang wormwood and calamus. However, dragon boat racing is not common here. We like to hang wormwood and calamus in front of our house. Take a bath with ginkgo leaves and wormwood. Parents will also drop a few drops of realgar wine in their children's ears and nose. After doing this, parents will buckle velvet on their children's hands. These are the ways people use to pray for peace and health in the coming year.
Speaking of Dragon Boat Festival, we can't help thinking of Qu Yuan because of him. This theory originated from "Continued Harmony" written by Wu Jun of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty and "Chronicle of Jingchu" in the Southern Dynasty. It is said that after Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River, the local people immediately rowed for rescue, and all the way to Dongting Lake, but Qu Yuan's body was never seen. It was raining at that time, and the boats on the lake gathered at the pavilion on the shore. When people learned that it was to salvage the sage Dr. Qu, they went out in the rain and rushed into the vast Dongting Lake. In order to mourn, people rowed on rivers, and later it gradually developed into a dragon boat race. People were afraid that fish in the river would eat his body, so they went home and threw rice balls into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from ruining Qu Yuan's body. Later, eating zongzi became a custom. Eating zongzi and racing dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival seems to be related to commemorating Qu Yuan.
By the way, I just finished hanging wormwood and calamus, and I haven't said anything about hanging sachets! Wearing sachets is very particular. In order to prevent diseases and keep fit, the elderly generally like to wear plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, peaches, apples, lotus flowers, dolls riding fish, dolls holding cocks, double lotus flowers and other shapes, symbolizing birds and flowers, all the best, loving each other and family harmony. Children like birds and animals, such as tigers and leopards; Monkeys on telephone poles, cockfighting to catch rabbits, etc. Young people are most particular about wearing sachets. If they are lovers in love, affectionate girls will carefully make one or two sachets with their own characteristics a long time ago and give them to their lovers before the festival. The young man wore a sachet from his sweetheart, which naturally aroused the discussion of men and women around him and praised the ingenuity of the young man's object. Hanging sachets is also good for your health! The spices in sachets are usually made by crushing and mixing the roots of plants, such as Atractylodes macrocephala and Angelica dahurica. In the past, due to the underdeveloped medicine, these sachets with sterilization function were all carried on children, which played the role of avoiding evil spirits, preventing mosquitoes and preventing the harassment of ominous things. The stuffing of modern sachets has made a breakthrough: lavender, verbena, rosemary and dried flowers can all be used to make sachets.
After reading the above, I believe you like Dragon Boat Festival as much as I do. Because it's fun and delicious. However, South Korea is actually competing with us for the Dragon Boat Festival. What do you think is the reason? But we really don't pay as much attention to this festival as South Korea, so we must pay attention to the traditional festivals in our country!
